How can anyone take you seriously when you post crap like this. Go back to yahoo msg boards and pls stop posting in this thread.

I see your point - but they are buying it with the funds that were earmarked to be paid for year-end compensation.. so really it's the employees that are funding by agreeing to receive Citi stock (From the open market) instead of cash... kind of like a mini privatization.. Citi market cap...

because a low share price is shaking the confidence of depositors (both corporates and individuals). so stabilizing the stock price is in the best interest of bond holders as well. this is also reflected in the rating agencies move to include share price as a metric in ratings. and also a...

It can use funds it earmarked for bonuses and use those shares to give for employee compensation. This will serve to stabilize its stock price, put pressure on the short sellers, and prevent dilution from issuing new stock for compensation. Thoughts?

I am especially interested in the e-mini S&P. Is the for open interest published at end of day or is it updated live throughout the day? If so updated live - any of the brokers have software that will show it? thanks

yeah good advice - will def apply the next time... thanks all - very helpful comments.. off to bed..

i disagree the advice of ignoring.. the bids and offers tell a story of who's doing what.. (even information that a volume turns out to be fake is very helpful) been watching it very closely for hours over the last month.. today's set-up was a perfect example of a good set-up IMHO..

already did - thanks

apologies - thought it was a level.. read a tonne of posts on here all saying to stay away from the HSI.. and darn.. i think i covered a little too early... got a little uncomfortable with 6 contracts..

had a stop sell at 812.25.. got a fill at 812.. closed at 810.. for 1.5 pt on 6 contracts.. thought it would break more aggressively - but was pretty fun to watch..

broke through my stop sell hit at 812.. riding it for now..

no need to be an ass.. from what i've read the hsi is very volatile and thinly traded.. wtf would i want to trade the HSI? just sharing ideas with the forum - hoping they are of use to somebody or that I can learn something.. Another 800 hit at the bid.. this is going to be the mother of...

btw - I'm still very new to trading.. have only been trading 2 contracts at a time until now.. so if anyone sees a flaw - pls feel free to critique/flame..

another 450 hit. I wish I had more money in my account. Seems like a pretty good risk/reward. Long 6 contracts now. looking for a short squeeze now please.

Somebody sitting on the bid with a huge volume at 812.50. Been hit with over 1500 contracts in the last 30 mins and hasn't budged. Showing 50 bid but looks like it's a bid where true size does not show. Going long at 812.5. With a plan to cxl and reverse if it hits to 812.25.

Amazingly, 30 minutes later, and I am still waiting for live representative online - quotes are still frozen. this is a shame as every other aspect of open e cry is excellent. love the interface, commission schedule and execution speed. I am lucky that i was flat when that happened - hope...

still waiting - been another 10 minutes (15 minutes total).

Second time this week. Quotes are just frozen and getting an error message saying "No interface found for this exchange". Waiting for live online representative to confirm. Been about 5 minutes.

looking at the big electronic contract (ticker ZSPZ8) - liquidity pretty much matches up the liquidity in the ES in dollar notional. It trades on top of ES contract when bid/offer at round or 1/2 increments, but slippage of 0.05 pt vs. the ES when the bid/offer is at the 0.25 or 0.75 ( which...

Using Open Ecry - the commissions are about 4 times more expensive trading 5 ES vs 1 SP contract (assuming night session commission is based on an electronic schedule - not pit).
